P2 The Secret Seller

You begin The Secret Seller on the western side of the map, next to a river. There are enemies directly north of you, but the majority of them are across the river to the east, making their way to a village located in the northernmost part of the map. The enemy soldiers will try to destroy the village, but they are opposed by an Ally character named Anna. Anna is a fairly capable fighter and can hold her own for several turns, but if you leave her to fight alone for too long, she’ll be overwhelmed and killed. This isn’t something you want to happen, since there’s a good possibility that Anna might be recruitable in a later level (hint, hint). You need to get some of your units to the village, to help take the heat off of Anna. The difficulty with this comes from the bridge connecting your army to the rest of the map.

The bridge can only be crossed one unit at a time, and by the time even your fastest units can reach it, the enemy soldiers will already have it blocked off, forcing you to fight through them before you can continue toward helping Anna. The best thing to do here is to charge forward with a strong/fast unit like Frederick, and to plow straight through them. Once you’ve broken through, you can rush Frederick to help Anna while the rest of your army catches up and engages the enemy army en masse. Also, be sure to visit the village with Frederick to seal it off from enemy attacks, and to land a nice little reward for your efforts. Once you’ve decimated the bulk of the enemy army, the boss character, backed by a few more soldiers, will make his way north from the southern part of the map to attack your forces. Finish him and his cohorts off to end the level.
